DAISY

Three weeks had passed. Three weeks of being Jason Black's girlfriend, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't a few of the best and most calm weeks of my life. Without me having to constantly look over my shoulder for danger. Without the paranoia of getting hurt hanging on my shoulders. Jason was absolutely sweet and protective, caring for me more than anyone has ever done. I was finding it hard to believe that everything happening was real. He was too good to be true, and I was finding it easier by the day to ignore all the bad rumours about him.

Although our relationship has been mostly about him leaving early in the morning before I even woke, me only seeing him in chemistry everyday and him coming back to the dorm past midnight everyday. It was as annoying as it was frustrating. But then I realized what he meant when he said that he didn't want a girlfriend. He was always busy and had little time for extra fun. He didn't want the extra baggage in the first place, so I decided not to pry and be clingy, but rather be a supportive and understanding girlfriend. Being that way was easier at first, but now I couldn't decide how I felt about his lack of time for me.

"Let's compare our hypothesis." Penny suggested. We were sitting in our chemistry class and she added the final touches of her final draft before turning to face me, a grin on her face.

"Sure." I grumbled unhappily. I handed her my thesis with pleasure, hoping she would correct me where I was wrong. This was our second chemistry report so far being two months into our first semester.

Penny's eyes scanned my report, which was only five pages long before handing it back to me.

"I like how detailed you made it. We might just get a good grade." She said proudly.

"I don't think so."

"Come on, cheer up. I've spent weekends going over this and I'm your partner. If I get a good grade so will you." She assured.

I felt myself relax a bit, knowing that she was right.

"Thanks, Penny. I honestly don't know what I would do without you." I rested my head on her shoulder. She chuckled before resting her head on mine in return.

While Jaxon had paired up with Grayson, Penny and I paired together too. We had to sit in groups of four but could only discuss the project with our partners. The professor hated noise and said it was distracting which I totally agreed to.

"I see you and Jason are getting closer. How has he been?" Penny suddenly asked. She had slowly come to terms that I wasn't gonna stop seeing Jason, even if she disliked him as much as she did before.

"He's fine. Extremely evasive and distant but perfectly fine." I frowned at my own words. It was true, Jason has been extremely evasive for the past week now. We spoke at night over the weekends and had long conversations till we both fell asleep, and I didn't think I would ever get tired of just aimlessly speaking to Jason. But it was noticeable that he barely spoke of himself, or what he did every single day when I was not with him.

"Well, are you sure he's not killing people in the light of day or something? I mean dating a murderer isn't fun." She joked.

"That's not funny, Penny." I said softly. Although I felt sad that she thought that way of him, I also knew that there was a slight possibility it could be true. I was being indenial, but I would continue to be for as long as I had evidence of anything else. I believed that Jason was not as heartless as people thought he was. He's not. How could he be when he acted so gentlemanly with me?

"Sorry." She said sheepishly. "I'm really sorry."

"It's fine." I sighed.

I glanced at the man of topic. He was seated besides Amelia who was not so subtly blabbering in his ears. From what I could see, he let out an exaggerated breath before crossing his arms, a moody expression in his face. He was probably cussing at me in his head for dragging him along to this class. I smiled even though he couldn't see me. The fact that he was willing to sit through a hour lecture just because I wanted him to said a lot.

"He looks like a ray of sunshine." Penny cackled.

"Hmm." I hummed in response. "What time should the report be handed in?" I asked.

"Exactly when the lecture is over."

"Great, I feel relieved."

"Don't forget about the two English essays due on Friday."

I groaned. "Don't ruin the moment, Penny."

She laughed instead of replying. The bell rang shortly after our conversation, souding like Christmas Bells to my ears. I nearly hopped out of my seat at how fast I was going, hoping to catch the professor before anyone else.

"Sir," I called out. His head snapped to my direction in question.

"What can I do for you, Daisy?"

"Is it okay if my report is five pages long? I didn't feel the need to add unnecessary detail and waste time."

"That's fine, as long as you give me quality work. I would hate to give you any percentage lower than seventy."

"Uh, thanks." I handed him my report that was neatly typed and printed.

I was about to leave when he called me back.

"I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time with that Jason boy. You do realize who he is right?" He asked, prentending to be fidgeting with the reports but I could hear the concern in his voice. I breathed in deeply and waited for the last person to place their report on the desk. Penny shot me a questioning look but I waved it off.

"He's my... my roommate. Spending time with him is inevitable." I said, feeling my defense mechanism start to appear.

"Roommate?" The professor's head snapped up and his eyes met mine in shock. "For how long?"

"Since day one."

"Do you want me to speak to Professor Flynn? I can get her to give you another room."

"No!" I said almost immedietly. "I'm perfectly fine, and I have to go. My friends are waiting for me."

"Wait, Daisy. You don't understand-"

"No, I understand perfectly. You're trying to warn me that Jason is bad news. Well, guess what? No harm has been done to me for the past two months. He's been the perfect roommate and... boyfriend for the past three weeks now. He always protects me and saves me when I'm in danger. I don't need a warning from you."

Feeling guilt consume me for being so disrespectful, I left the room before I could apologize profusely like I knew I would. He was just being a caring elder and professor, I shouldn't have been so defensive on Jason's behalf. However, I couldn't help but feel angry at everyone's constant hate and dislike towards Jason.

I sighed loudly and rested against the wall. The hallways were empty, except for the one presence leaning against the wall opposite of me. He looked really handsome today. Maybe more than the rest. He had stubble growing on his face and his hair grew slightly longer. He decided to wear a red t-shirt today instead of a dark coloured one. And instead of dark jeans he wore a ripped light blue pair.

"How long were you listening?" I asked breathlessly.

"Up until now." He said, a mischievous smirk forming at his very kissable lips. "I liked the part where you so heroically defended me. It made you ten times hotter. Didn't think that was possible but look, it was."

I blushed at his silly comment, feeling the dormant butterflies in my stomach flutter.

"I had to. I don't like that everyone thinks so badly of you."

Jason's eyes darkened when he walked towards me. On instinct I pushed myself further into the wall, cluthing my book bag tightly. I couldn't be aroused in the middle of the hallway for Christ's sake.

"What did I tell you before?" He asked softly, his hand reaching out to touch my cheek.

"I forgot." I said mindlessly, leaning into his touch.

"Don't do that," he suddenly groaned, gripping my face and pulling it closer to his. "Tell me what I've told you before."

I snapped out of my trance, looking up into his eyes. They were impatient, despite how beautiful they were. I could get lost in them all day, they looked exactly like a rain forest.

"You said that the warnings people give me are true. And that you're only nice when you're with me." I said, repeating what he had told me a few days ago. I refused to believe that.

"Exactly, Angel." He said in approval, his thumb stroking my lower lip gently. He bent down and softly placed his lips on mine in a kiss. I kissed him back immediately, bringing my arms around his neck. I felt his hands grip my waist as he gently pulled me against him.

The sound of a throat clearing in the distance caused me to snap out of the kiss. I pulled away and breathed in sharply when I spotted Ace leaning against the wall, a smirk on his lips. He wiggled his eyebrows in suggestion causing my face to heat up. Jason didn't seem to care, because he moved towards my exposed neck and began placing small kisses from the base of my neck towards my chin.

"Jason," I said nervously. "Your brother needs you."

"Tell him to fuck off." He grunted.

"I'm standing right here, jackass."

I smiled sheepishly at Ace as to apologize for Jason's rude behaviour. I guessed he was used to it seen as the amusement on his face never seemed to waver.

Jason sighed loudly in exaggeration before letting go of my waist. I suddenly missed his warmth.

"What?"

"I found the little rat that was leaking information to Tyson Blake. I have him chained up in the basement for you like the dirty dog that he is. Consider it an early birthday present." Ace said, dark mischief in his expression.

"No fucking way. Who is it?" Jason asked in bewilderment. I could sense the excitement in his voice, causing me to internally cringe. Were they seriously talking about what I thought they were?

"Kevin, that little shit. I knew he was a bitch since the moment you let him into the gang. He was always a coward and ran away from danger instead of towards."

"Great, just fucking great." Jason muttered, turning toward me once again.

"Will you be fine on your own for the rest of the day?" He asked, reaching out to touch my arm.

"I'll be fine." I confirmed, trying hard to smile when all I wanted to do was puke. I could feel bile rise to my throat at the thought of what Jason was going to do to that guy. I wasn't stupid and I definitely wasn't oblivious to the fact that they were about to tortue someone in a basement. I've watched enough movies to know where this would go. I felt my heart drop for this Kevin guy.

"But I'll be better if you stay with me." I couldn't help myself. If I knew that there was a way to delay this guys tortue and possible death I was going to try.

"I really have to go, Angel." Jason said softly.

I couldn't even feel flattered by the fact that he had called me Angel. Was I seeing everything wrong? Should I have listened to everyone's warning? Was Penny's joke about Jason killing people in the light of day not so much of a joke anymore? Suddenly, I felt sick to the stomach.

"Okay, go ahead I'll be fine." I forced myself to smile.

"Don't hate me, princess." He bent down to kiss me once again on the lips. For the few seconds he kissed me, I couldn't even find myself responding.

"Don't wait up for me tonight. I might not be home."

Yes, because you will be too busy torturing someone to return.

"See you later, Daisy." Ace waved before turning around. Jason sent me one last look before following after him. I stared at their retreating backs till they disappeared around the corner.

That's when I felt myself begin to shake.

"Since we've handed in our chemistry report, I think we all deserve a good night out. Maybe tomorrow night?" Grayson said, placing down a tray of steaming mugs of coffee on the table. Since Sweet Kisses was short of staff, most people collected their own coffee instead of a waiter bringing it.

"Where should we go?" Mavis asked.

"The park or the movies?" Penny suggested. "Oh wait! Definitely the movies. Justice League is in the cinema and I've been dying to watch it."

"I think we should watch Cars 3." Jaxon suggested.

"Cars 3?" Michael butted in. "What are you, five?"

"Cars is not only for kids," Jaxons states, looking offended. "Adults can watch it too."

"Adult?" Mavis looks at him thoughtfully, before bursting out laughing at Jaxon's expression.

I stayed silent as I watched my friends interact with one another. Happy and content smiles on their face. This was what I wished for when I started college. But then I met Jason. I realized this afternoon that being with him wasn't as easy as it sounded. Just the tiny detail that he might be taking peoples lives like it meant nothing caused an ache in my chest. I couldn't just expect things to be normal when so many complications came with being with Jason. Was I in way over my head? Was I so desperate for the feeling of comfort and security Jason gave me that I was looking past the big fat fact that he did bad things for a living?

I couldn't explain how I felt when I thought of violence and killings. I couldn't explain the feeling, but I knew that it was a horrible feeling and something I didn't want to feel often.

I thought of how excited Jason looked when Ace told him that someone was chained up in the basement for him. He even called it an early birthday present. How could that have been anything besides twisted?

I sucked in a sharp breath.

Jason was a mistake.

A huge one.

I stared up at the ceiling while I lied in bed. I felt despressed and hollow on the inside, wishing that I didn't have to face Jason. He texted me a half hour ago, telling me that he would be back soon and that I shouldn't go to sleep just yet. But I wanted to. I really did. I wanted to avoid him and avoid the fact that I have came to my descion of telling him that things between us couldn't go any further. It hurt me to have came to this descion. It truly wounded me deep inside.

Jason had touched a big piece of my heart. And throwing him away just like that didn't feel right. Not even a little bit. But it would be the best if I just stayed clear of him. Prof. Flynn, the headmaster and Dean of all subjects had informed me on the first day that renovations would be over in two to three months. And that in those months time she would arrange for me a new dorm room with a girl as a partner. Well, two months had passed. I was one phone call away from getting a new roommate and dorm. I could have just thrown Jason away just like that.

But instead of going immedietly to Prof. Flynn and demanding that dorm room she promised me, I felt like I owed it to Jason to tell him. We had already broken every rule Prof. Flynn had given us, and all the rules that we on our own established on the first day.

I tried really hard to fall asleep but the thoughts in my head prevented me from doing so, and before I knew it the room door was opening.

a/n. please don't hate Daisy. You have to understand that it's really not as easy as it seems to just be in a relationship with someone like Jason.
